"This is a great honor for me to be chosen to lead the Iroquois
men's team for the 2014 championships," Beville said. "I can't
imagine a better way to honor and give something back to the
Iroquois people and the founders of this great game. We believe
this team will be able to compete with the best in the world and be
very successful."

The event, scheduled for July 10-19 next summer, is run by U.S.
Lacrosse and is expected to be the largest international lacrosse
event in history with as many as 40 nations represented.

The Iroquois Nationals, expected to feature stars such as
Albany's Lyle, Miles and Ty Thompson and NLL stalwarts like Jeremy
Thompson and Cody Jamieson among others, are anticipated to be one
of the top teams at the competition. They will be competing in the
top Blue division along with Team USA and Canada, which have faced
off for the gold medal in every FIL championship since 1998.

The Iroquois have participated in all but one tournament since
their debut in 1990, placing fifth in 1990 and 1994, then fourth in
1998, 2002 and 2006. In 2010 the Iroquois sat out of the tournament
in Manchester, Eng. due to their passports not being honored by the
host country and their refusal to travel on U.S. or Canadian
documents while representing Six Nations.

Beville's assistant coaches will be University of Virginia
associate head coach Marc Van Arsdale, a Geneva, N.Y., native and
1985 Hobart College graduate, and Penn State University assistant
coach Chris Doctor, a Skaneateles, N.Y., native and 2007 Rutgers
University alumnus.

In seven seasons at Cortland, Beville has led the Red Dragons to
a combined 125-18 (.874) record and seven NCAA Div. III tournament
appearances. Cortland won the national title in 2009 and finished
as national runner-up in 2007, 2008 and 2012. He was selected as
the 2009 United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA)
Division III National Coach of the Year and has been named State
University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Coach of the
Year three times (2008, 2010, 2012).

A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Beville graduated from West Genesee
High School in 1981. He was a two-time Div. III National Defenseman
of the Year and played in three national championship games at
Washington College in Maryland. Beville coached at Colorado College
(1989-98) and the University of Vermont (1999-2006) prior to his
arrival at Cortland.
